Man, your killin' me. The Sprecher brewery was what I was trying to find
when I was driving through town, but I missed it somehow and ended up at
Lake Michigan. I turned south and saw some of the grandest mansions I have
ever seen. From there, I turned back into town and found Pabst.

Well, if you were looking for their old Milwaukee brewery, that was the
problem. They outgrew that facility several years ago, and moved to
Greenfield -- a suburb just north of Milwaukee, right off I-94.

Sounds like your "home" brewery is doing it right, though. Those beer
tasting/tours are the best!

We just lost one of our local micro-breweries, "Stone City Brewing" up in
Solon, IA. (First town north of Iowa City.) They just never quite got it
together, after almost ten years of trying, and their beer never matched
the "mouth feel" of a truly good micro-brew. Flavor wasn't bad, but the
texture was wrong.

It's sad, but it's a tough market.
